Tweety Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Very few, and none during the winter. I can count on one hand the number of eggs I have had this year from my two Sebrights! They are beautiful hens, but don't bother if eggs are a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll answer all your threads at once... May have been more useful to start one thread asking about different breeds They are all OK layers, not the best, and certainly the seabrights or Japanese will lay VERY small eggs. Have you thought about looking at the Omlet breed section? This provides valuable information about a lot of breeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I was just about to say - click on the 'breeds' tab at the top and you can research all the breeds and how many eggs they lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibah Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I Know i keep writing so many sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I've got a free ranging sebright in with all my other girls - she's such a character and holds her own but she's not a prolific layer but when she does the eggs are a decent size for a tiny girl!

Redwing Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Of the breed you have asked about Polands are decent layers and Sebrights and Japanese are poor layers All of those breeds though need a little more care than other breeds, the Polands have restricted eyesight and a soft spot on their skull so are prone to being bullied. Japanese need to be kept out of the mud, and both of those and Sebrights need very sheltered and dry runs to live in. Sebrights and Japanese are also very small and not suited to life with bigger birds in general Maybe some attractive breeds that fare better in a mixed pet flock would be a good idea - laced Wyandottes are very pretty as are Appenzellers, Hamburghs, cream legbars and Welsummers amongst others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
